Approved for use in GCSE and A-Level exams

Access arrangements & reasonable adjustments

According to JCQ, a computer reader may allow students to demonstrate their attainment more effectively and independently than would be possible with a human reader (JCQ Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments 2017-18). It can even be used in papers or sections of papers where reading is being assessed, unlike a human reader.

Read&Write is approved for use in GCSE and A-Level exams and is now being used by many schools up and down the UK to support students who would normally qualify for the support of a human reader. The benefits to this are enormous, saving the school money and lots of staff resourcing time.

Reduce the cost of access arrangements

It’s estimated that an average school spends approximately £2,000* on employing human readers to accommodate those who require extra help in exams. Implementing software to act as an exam reader in place of a human reader could save a significant amount of money.

*Cost of human readers is based on 10 students in a school requiring a human reader for seven exams.

It has allowed pupils more independence and to work at their own pace as well as giving them more confidence. One student refers to it as her 'best friend'”
